We’re finishing up our series of finger cymbals tonight, and gearing up for Jane Hall to join us to teach drumming starting next week at Studio Deep Roots. So as inspiration, I thought I would share this piece with Susu … Read More

In a world of dancer wannabes, you wannabe your own dancer. You look to the RB clones and the FCBD copycats, and you think to yourself that you want to find your own voice, your own unique expression separate from … Read More

Ah, darling Zafira. Sadly, the group disbanded at the end of 2011 in order to pursue solo projects, but their legacy lives on. I was a fan of some of these ladies from their baby dancer days, back in a … Read More
